As an entrepreneur, you know how important social media is for your business. Who has time to go on all the different websites and schedule your posts at the most optimum times of the day? I know I don’t. I like to do it all in a big chunk of time and be ready to go for at least 2 weeks. I think I may have found the holy grail of programs that aim to do this. Are you ready to hear all about it?
I have tried Buffer and hootsuite but I always felt constrained by the fact that you could not recycle content. Both are great programs but suppose you missed your social media scheduling time and you run out of content then your accounts come up as empty. This makes it look inactive and that is not good. Edgar is here to save the day!
With Edgar you can schedule what kinds of posts you want on which Social media site that you want. So there is no more guessing with HootSuite and buffer on which post you want when. I found this feature to be highly invaluable. Suppose you want inspiration to post at 9 am every morning. You can schedule that.
You can also import you blog feed and schedule when it shows up. I have driven more people to my blog this month from social networks once I started doing this.
You can also bulk update in Edgar. You have a list of 100 questions you want to import into Edgar? They have an article explaining how to do this via a spreadsheet. I tried it and it was really simple.
Personally I have had a much higher rate of engagement with Edgar than I did with both HootSuite and Buffer. I have no scientific explanation but I have received more leads with this program in one month than in two years of using buffer or HootSuite.
There is one negative in that Edgar does not have any integration. They do explain how to find out when followers are online and plus there are MANY articles on how to analyze Facebook and Twitter and the like. You can Google these then set it up in Edgar and experiment.
Edgar has a wonderful analysis section where you can see how well your posts have done. I have found this really helpful in tweaking my times in the program.
All in all I love Edgar so much that I decided this is one of my “must have” programs. I am picky about which ones I choose but the ROI on this was just too good to ignore. I have heard some complaints that Edgar is expensive and it is. The value you will get from this is worth the price.
Thanks so much for the vote of confidence, Hillary! So happy to hear Edgar’s been working so well for you! 🙂
I’m just looking into social media tools, this is a new one to add to my list. Thanks for the tip!
